Casualty Reduction Co-ordinator Pete Tate said: “Across County Durham and Darlington, we all have the right to use our road networks safely, and that means identifying dangerous drivers and dealing with them accordingly.

“With the increasing prevalence of dashcams and other journey cams nowadays, it’s getting harder and harder for bad drivers to get away with carelessness and dangerous driving, and putting other road users at risk. If you spot something, tell us.”
